He was a _makar_ (Scots, cognate w. Eng. maker) 'poet'.
Apparently a calque on Greek po(i)ētēs 'maker; poet' from poieō 'make'.
Ancient Greek word ποιητής (poiētēs), pronounced roughly as
"poy-ay-TAHS".
sounds like POTUS
Greek verb ποιέω (poieō), pronounced roughly as "poy-EH-oh".
Cognate with Poignant
(having a sharp emotional effect, a connection to the power of words)
